The second patch addressed the CLF issue, and makes the locale
inheritable only by SSI processing.
I disagree in principle with the first part, however. Right now,
Apache's use is wildly international in scope, but we're denying our
users the ability to use the OS' i18n capabilities *if they want
them.* I suspect that hardly anyone will actually deliberately
*use* the locale feature, but I think a global perspective
recommends that we not prevent them from so doing. Caveat emptor:
if they use it, they need to be aware that it might do more than
they suppose.
Controlling the scope of this should be configurable. Perhaps with an
Options keyword? Needs more thought.. and not for 1.2.
Give 'em rope. If they hang themselves.. that's their choice.
